The right to petition for the degrees of Ancient Craft Masonry are rarely denied any man, but this right goes no further than granting the privilege of petitioning, and all who petition are not admitted. The Masonic fraternity wants and welcomes only men of high character and integrity, who should seek admission of their own free will and accord. Should a petitioner be accepted, he gets no more out of Masonry that he puts into it, and for every benefit received a member is expected to render some equivalent.
To be eligible to petition for the degrees of Freemasonry in NJ you must be a male, at least 21 years of age, have a belief in a Supreme Being and be of good morale character.
If you meet these minimum requirements, please follow the directions listed below.
